Practicing tooth preparation skills in dental students
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how dental students learn a specific skill—preparing a tooth for an onlay (a type of filling)—by practicing in a sequence. If you're a dental student who hasn't done onlay prep yet, this trial could help you build that skill in a structured way.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a dental student in your 4th, 5th, or 6th year of study.
- If you're in your 5th or 6th year, you need to have already finished the lab and lecture courses on operative and fixed prosthodontics.
- If you're in your 4th year, you must be currently taking the final lab and lecture courses in fixed prosthodontics.
- You cannot have any prior experience with onlay preparation in a lab or clinic.
- You must be willing to follow the study's rules and schedule.

This study asks dental students at Cairo University about what they know and think about special care dentistry—dental care for people with special needs or disabilities. If you're in your 4th, 5th, or 6th year, your answers can help improve future training.
This trial tests a new AI-powered digital tool that helps dental students self-check their tooth preparations. If you are a third-year preclinical dental student who has completed the basic course but hasn't used digital assessment tools before, you may be able to join this study to see if the AI tool improves your skills.
This study tests whether dental students learn root canal access preparation better with a virtual reality (VR) simulator or a mobile app. If you are a dental student with some computer skills and no prior VR training, this trial may help you practice without using real patients.
This trial compares two types of tooth-colored partial crowns (onlays) for repairing damaged back teeth. It aims to see which material and method works better over 18 months.
This study looks at how dental students and dentists remove material when adjusting zirconia, a hard ceramic used for crowns. It tests how different levels of training affect the work, which can help improve teaching and tools.
This trial compares two digital manufacturing methods to make ceramic onlay fillings for back (molar) teeth—one method that removes material and one that builds it up. It may help you learn which approach makes more comfortable, effective onlays for teeth needing repair.
